Two innovative technologies, LISP and Nexus, have come together to create a one-of-a-kind scalable blockchain that many believe is the next generation blockchain solution the industry has been waiting for. LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) was created by Silicon...

Since early March the tritium testnet has been functioning with the primitive core APIs and Operations, and we are now engaging with a security firm to perform a code audit. They will start an audit on the staging branch (tritium beta running over the legacy rules),...

Over recent years there has been a growing interest in the possible application of tokens. Generally, this has been limited to the raising of capital in the form of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) on the basis of the ideas of a whitepaper. Conversely, Nexus is building...

The notion of a “trustless” ledger continues to gain in popularity. A public blockchain is often described in this way as it does not require a “trusted” third party. The responsibilities of third parties such as banks, payment or credit card providers is to act as...

Today, there are a handful of consensus mechanisms that have been designed to create decentralized networks. Though all of these mechanisms serve to protect against sybil attacks and double spending, many have a limited ability to capture the reputation of the nodes...

March was another busy month of coding, with an additional 68,000 lines of code written and the release of the Tritium testnet. The development team have also been holding weekly zoom meetings, for which we have provided some of the highlights. Zoom Meeting...

First up, there’s a ton of new code. 50k+ new lines of it. Great job, Nexus devs! Lower Level Crypto: Nexus is monitoring new quantum-resistant signature schemes that use lattices to replace the Elliptic Curve Cryptography scheme that is currently used for...

January was an extremely busy month, culminating in the release of the open source code for Tritium. An additional 58,627 lines of code have been written since the end of last October. Meanwhile, the UK and Australian Embassies have continued to develop their outreach...

For this edition of the TAO update series, I will explain what has been completed thus far, what is left to do, and what you can do with Tritium after you read this article. So, let’s get started with the usual git pull origin master. From...

Enterprise adoption is instrumental to blockchain technology becoming mainstream, and Nexus Advanced Contracts are the next step in leading this progression. Existing Smart Contracts have experienced issues in relation to ease of use and scalability due to a Turing...

In the lead up to Christmas, and the much anticipated Nexus Tritium core release in January 2019, the Nexus development team is hard at work preparing for December’s public test nets and creating the module store. In late November, Colin Cantrell presented at...

It is clear that organisations can only operate effectively with easy access to products and services. Likewise, no organisation can continue to grow if late payments and poor procurement processes remain in place. This is where blockchain technology can play a...

With the highly anticipated release of the Nexus Tritium Mainnet scheduled for the end of January 2019, application developers will be able to interact with the functionalities of the Nexus blockchain through an easy to use, feature-rich API set. APIs will create...

It has been a very productive month for Nexus with the commitment of many new lines of code for the Tritium upgrade, ambassadors attending conferences, engineers meeting at the Internet Engineering Task Force, and the continued development of our distributed Embassy...

The Nexus Tritium update implements Signature Chains (Sigchains) that enable account-based transactions and create a unique cryptographic identity system on the blockchain. This allows a user to safely transfer and prove ownership of assets and data through advanced...
